當今進入汽車的第二個世紀，已開發國家及地區如：歐洲、北美、日本與台灣之汽車市場需求可說已達到飽和。過剩的產能與日益挑剔、不易滿足的消費者需求，已逐漸侵蝕汽車製造廠的穫利空間。傳統車廠採用針對車輛性能、造型、配備、功能與品質等各項屬性，進行差異化設計與創新改善的經營策略，因競爭對手相繼模仿與進而超越，已逐漸失去其原有掌握與吸引消費者之效果。
每一汽車製造廠必須謹慎思考與選擇正確的競爭策略，以圖繼續生存與成長於此激烈的競爭環境。大量客製化是一新的企業經營典範方法，提供高品質、合理價格與快速交貨的大量客製化能力，滿足顧客個別需求。本研究 － 汽車產業大量客製化之研究，主要探討與研究汽車產業達成大量客製化之相關技術與方法。
本研究提出一個汽車產業追求與發展大量客製化的系統程序方法；運用推式/拉式策略與延緩策略為導入大量客製化的基本指導綱領。基於推式/拉式策略與延緩策略的原則，進行汽車設計、生產製程與顧客需求的分析與調查，進而產生車輛規格表與組態目錄。顧客選擇個人需求的規格及配備，汽車製造廠依據顧客的組態規格訂單，生產製造個別客製需求的汽車。

In the second automotive century, the automotive demand across Europe, the US, Japan, and Taiwan has mostly matured. Too much capacity, and never satisfied demand for fresh and differentiated vehicles have eroded profit margins for many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Carmakers were adopting the strategies focus on the traditional ways to differentiate vehicles — via attributes. But these differentiators are less powerful than they were.
Every automotive company should select the right strategy to survive and succeed in this competitive environment. Mass customization is an important new business paradigm in industry that made individual customized vehicle to match customer’s unique needs with reasonable prices, higher quality and faster delivery. The thesis — The Study of Mass Customization in Automotive Industry aims at studying relevant technologies and methodologies towards the objectives of mass customization.
We suggest a system procedure of pursuing mass customization in automotive industry. We should adopt push/pull and postponement strategies as our fundamental guidelines toward mass customization. According to the principles of push/pull system and postponement, take further investigation and analysis of in vehicle design, production process, and customer requirements. Creating vehicle specification and configuration based on speculate customer needs which within manufacture’s domain. Customer configuring a vehicle with features and options he/she wants, and then initiates activities to customized a specific vehicle for customer.
